Women's Racing

It was a fine evening in Corkagh Park for the first criterium of the StickyBottle.com Orwell Wheelers Women's Crit League, and a fine turnout to boot! Eimear O'Reilly led home a host of newcomers, while Sandra Fitzgerald beat breakaway companion Anne Dalton to win the A race.

Róisín Kennedy returns to familiar territory by winning the first round of the crit. league.

Tonight is the first round of the StickyBottle.com Orwell Women's Crit League, opening with a 10TT at Batterstown. It's a flat, simple out and back course - perfect to give time trialling a first try!

With the largest population of racing women in the country, Orwell are increasingly dominant on the domestic scene, and the tally of this year's results proves that beyond doubt!

This year's Rás na mBan saw past and present Orwell members involved at all levels, most significantly a full team of current club riders, and Joe Daly Cycles sponsored a composite team. We also had Isabel Cogan selected for Leinster, while former members Anne Dalton and Lydia Boylan were riding for Ireland. Monica Marconi won the Fedaia Veterans competition, and Cogan's Leinster team took home the top county prize.
